(2016·华中师大附中高三上学期期中检测)Chinese female scientist Tu Youyou won the 2015 Nobel Prize in medicine on October 5 for her discoveries concerning a novel treatment against malaria (疟疾). This is the first Nobel Prize given to a Chinese scientist for work carried out within China.
Tu shared the prize with Irishborn William Campbell and Satoshi Omura of Japan, who were honored for their revolutionary antiroundworm treatment. 84yearold Tu is awarded this prize for her contribution to cutting the death rate of malaria, reducing patients' suffering and promoting mankind's health. Although she received several medical awards in the past, the 2015 Nobel Prize is definitely the most privilege reward that recognizes Tu's dedication and perseverance in discovering artemisinin (青蒿素), the key drug that battles malariafriendly parasites (寄生虫).
However, her route to the honor has been anything but traditional. She won the Nobel Prize for medicine, but she doesn't have a medical degree or a PhD. In China, she is even being called the “threenoes” winner: no medical degree, no doctorate, and she's never worked overseas. No wonder her success has stirred China's national pride and helped promote confidence of native Chinese scientists.
The fact that Tu has none of these three backgrounds reminds us that science should be more accessible to all. One shall be able to become a scientist no matter what kind of background he or she comes from, as long as one dives into scientific research. There have been discussions on people who really love science but are never able to achieve much during their whole life. Their contributions can never be ignored. They work so hard to prove the wrong way so that the future researchers will be closer to the right one.
As the first Chinese mainland Nobel Prize Winner of natural science award, Tu's recordbreaking winning also serves as a reminder to those who are too eager for instant success. Science is never about instant success. Tu spent decades on scientific research before its value is officially acknowledged. There is no way to measure how much one devotes to science and compare it with how much reward he or she may get.
语篇解读：本文是一篇议论文。中国女科学家屠呦呦获得了2015年度诺贝尔医学奖，作为一名“三无”(无医学学位、无博士学位、无海外经历)获奖者，她带给我们很多值得思考的东西。

(2016·长春市高三质检二)Steve and I pulled trash for four solid hours continuously, except for about five minutes when we stopped to talk. My shoulder hurt badly each time I put another full barrel on it, and my legs occasionally trembled as I was heading for the street. But the rest of me said, “Go, trashman, go.”
I could not have imagined there would be joy in this. Dump. Lift. Walk. Lift. Walk. The hours flew by.
Saturday meant many people were outdoors working in their gardens or greenhouses. Most of them looked approachable enough. There wasn't time for lengthy talks but enough to exchange greetings that go with civilized ways. But I was shocked to find that this wasn't the case.
When I said hello to them, most often the response was either nothing at all, or a surprising stare because I had spoken.
One woman in a housecoat was startled as I came around the corner of her house. At the sound of my greeting, she gathered her housecoat tightly about her and retreated quickly to the door. I heard the lock click.
Steve complained angrily on the long ride to the dump：“They don't realize we're humans.”
I had originally planned to stay at this employment for only two days but now I'm going to continue. I have decided, too, to keep saying hello in people's yards. It doesn't do any harm, and it still feels right. Frankly, I'm doing an essential task. I left this country a little cleaner than I found it this morning. Not many people can say that tonight.
John Gardner wrote that a society which praises its philosophers and looks down on its plumbers (管子工) is in trouble. “Neither_its_pipes_nor_its_theories_will_hold_water，” he warned. He might have gone a step further and called for respect for both our economists and our trashmen; otherwise, they'll both leave rubbish behind.
语篇解读：本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者是一名垃圾清理工，他以前对自己的工作不认同，后来逐渐以自己的工作为荣。

解析：选A 推理判断题。根据画线句前的“a society which ... is in trouble”可推知，画线句主要是说人们对社会价值观的判断会出错，故选A项。
7．Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A．An Experience as a Trashman
B．The Trashman
C．Economists and Trashmen
D．Misunderstanding
解析：选B 标题归纳题。根据整篇文章内容可知，作者是一名垃圾清理工，以前他对自己的工作不认同，但后来逐渐以自己的工作为荣。故选B。A项突出的是一次经历，比较片面。

(2016·石家庄高三教学质检二)If your parents were to surprise you with a present on your birthday, which one would you prefer, a trip to the amusement park or a new pair of shoes?
According to Science Daily, about onethird of the people are likely to prefer shoes to a fun trip. These people are called “materialists”， namely, those who value material goods more than experiences. But which of the two choices makes people happier?
Back in 2009, Ryan Howell, a professor at San Francisco State University, found that in the long run, experiences make people happier than possessions. This is because the joy of receiving a new object fades over time as you get used to seeing it every day. Experiences, on the other hand, can continue to bring you joy in the future through happy memories.
But materialists should at least be happy when they first buy something, shouldn't they?
To figure it out, Howell did another study. He classified a group of adults according to their personality types, ranging from less materialistic to more materialistic. Each person was asked different questions to see how they felt about spending money on material goods versus spending money on experiences.
As expected, the more materialistic participants got less happiness from purchases than the less materialistic, because such purchases didn't fit with their personalities and values. But to Howell's surprise, he found that materialists weren't any happier even if they spent money on material items.
This is because materialists worry that others may criticize or look down on their choices. “There are certain value systems that are rejected by society，” said Howell. “When we find out someone is materialistic, we think less of them, and that drives their happiness down.”
Another reason is that materialistic people always focus on what they don't have instead of what they have now. This makes them feel less satisfied and grateful.
If you happen to be a materialistic person, there's something you can try. “If materialists make more accurate purchases, rather than trying to impress others, they will be happier，” Howell said.
You should also remember what an ancient Greek philosopher once said, “Do not spoil what you have by desiring what you have not; remember what you now have was once among the things you only hoped for.”
语篇解读：本文是一篇议论文。作者通过引用 Ryan Howell 的研究结果证实经历比有形物质更能给人带来快乐。
12．What did Ryan Howell find in his studies?
A．Material goods bring people less happiness than experiences.
B．About onethird of the people prefer material goods to experiences.
C．Materialists have more fun spending money on goods than on experiences.
D．Receiving a new object brings lasting joy while the joy of an experience fades soon.
解析：选A 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“... found that in the long run, experiences make people happier than possessions”可知，经历比物品更能使人感到高兴。根据第六段中的“the more materialistic participants got less happiness from purchases than the less materialistic”可知，比较倾向物质主义的参与者比不太倾向物质主义的参与者从购物中得到的快乐更少。由此可见， Ryan Howell 在他的研究中发现：有形物质比经历给人带来的快乐更少。因此，该题选A。
13．What did Ryan Howell want to find out by doing another study?
A．How to judge whether a person is a materialist.
B．Why materialists are not happy with their purchases.
C．How materialists feel when they spend money on goods.
D．Whether materialists are happy when they first make purchases.
解析：选D 细节理解题。根据第四段“But materialists should at least be happy ... shouldn't they？”及第五段第一句可知该题选D。
14．Why does the author use the ancient Greek philosopher's words in the last paragraph?
A．To advise materialistic people not to try to impress others.
B．To persuade people to be satisfied with what they have.
C．To prove it's unwise to be materialistic and desire too much.
D．To tell readers what they desire now might one day become theirs.
解析：选B 推理判断题。根据最后一段中那位哲学家的话“不要因期望你没有的东西而毁掉了你现在拥有的东西。记住：你现在拥有的东西就在你曾经渴望得到的东西之中”，再结合上文 Ryan Howell 研究得出的结论可知，作者引用这位哲学家的话旨在说服人们要对目前拥有的事物感到知足。因此该题选B。
15．What can be the best title for the passage?
A．Are You a Materialist?
B．How To Acquire Happiness?
C．The Best Present for the Birthday
D．Which Can Make People Happier?
解析：选D 标题归纳题。通读全文可知，作者通过引用 Ryan Howell 的研究结果证实经历比有形物质更能给人带来快乐，故D项作文章标题最佳。

(2016·河南省普通高中毕业班适应性测试)Philip was a junior office assistant in a large company. He was quite ambitious, so he was keen to make a good__1__(impress) on the boss. He often stayed late at the office, to show__2__ committed and hardworking he was. One evening, he was just__3 to go home when he saw his boss__4 (stand) in front of the shredder (碎纸机), holding a document.
“Ah, Philip! I'm glad you're still here in the office！”said the boss，“Good__5__(see) all your hard work and professionalism. Now I wonder if you could help me.”
“Of course，” replied Philip.“It's no trouble.”
“Good man! You see, my secretary has already gone home__6__I haven't got a clue how this thing works. It's so important that I have to get this done before tomorrow. If you__7 (can) do this one more thing before you go home, I'd__8 (real) appreciate it.”
“No problem，” said Philip，__9__(happy) to be asked to do such a simple job.
He took the document from his boss, turned on the machine, inserted the document and pressed the start button.
“That's excellent，” said the boss, as the document vanished into the shredder. “I just need two__10__(copy)．”
语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。讲述了Philip帮不会操作机器的老板把文件放入了碎纸机，而老板却说“给我复印两份”的幽默故事。
1．impression make a good impression on sb.是固定短语，意为“给某人留下好印象”。
2．how 句意：他经常在办公室里待到很晚，以此来显示他是多么地敬业和勤奋。“committed”和“hardworking”是形容词，所以用副词how修饰，表示程度。
3．about 固定句型 be about to do sth. when ...意为“正要做某事时突然……”。故填 about。
4．standing 动词see后通常接动词原形或现在分词作宾语补足语，此处表示正在发生的动作，所以用现在分词作宾语补足语。
5．to see 分析句子结构可知，形容词“Good”前省略了it is，所以用动词不定式作真正的主语。
6．and 分析句子结构可知，此处用连词and连接两个并列的句子。
7．could 根据主句中的谓语动词可知，此处是指与现在事实相反的虚拟，所以if引导的条件状语从句中的谓语动词要用一般过去时。故填could。
8．really 应用副词修饰动词“appreciate”。real的副词形式为 really。
9．happy 根据语境可知，Philip很高兴被要求做这样简单的工作。分析句子结构可知，空格处用形容词happy作状语，表伴随。
10．copies 根据数词“two”可知，此处名词应使用复数形式。copy的复数形式为copies。
Ⅱ.短文改错
(2016·河南省普通高中毕业班适应性测试)This morning, when I was walking on the streets, I saw that two travelers were reading a map, looked puzzled. It seemed that they were lost. I went up and asked what I could help them. They told me they are looking for the Temple of Heaven. I led them to nearest bus stop and advised them to take Bus No. 20, who could take them there directly. They were appreciated my help greatly. Short after that, the bus came and we waved goodbye each other.
Seeing them on the bus, we felt a kind of satisfaction.
答案：
第一句：streets→street; looked→looking
第三句：what→how/if/whether
第四句：are→were
第五句：在nearest前加the; who→which
第六句：去掉were
第七句：Short→Shortly; goodbye后加to
第八句：we→I
Ⅲ.书面表达

注意：1.词数100左右；
2．可适当增加细节，以使行文连贯；
3．开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数。

参考范文：
Boys and girls，
Spring has come. It brings us warm sunshine, green grass, colorful flowers as well as sweet taste of air. It is the very time to refresh us from tiredness. In order to gain the best physical and spiritual state for further study, I propose all of us go outdoors to take part in more activities, such as spring outing, jogging, mountainclimbing, cycling and so on, which can rest our body and mind. With these activities, we can enjoy the country life, away from city noise and dust. We can also feel physical and mental pleasure. Thus we are sure to be more energetic and obtain high learning efficiency. So for the benefit of ourselves, go out and jump in the fresh right now.
Yours，
Li Hua
